About a month ago I first got word that Givenchy was launching a new mascara

that would feature a small sphere with tiny bristles as its applicator, thus

eschewing a traditional brush or comb. I sort of forgot about it until I was at

the tents last Friday sipping on my skim cappuccino and reading WWD when I came across an article on Givenchy Phenomen’Eyes Mascara, $27. All I could

think is I must try this new wand! And now just a few days later – have it,

love it! The sphere shape allows for a much more precise application and even

lets me get at my tiny lashes and my eyelash roots (near impossible for me to

do with a pointed brush). Obviously it takes a little longer because the shape

of the applicator can’t get all your lashes in one quick swoop, but the easy, targeted application

(especially critical when it comes to touching-up), makes Phenomen’Eyes well

worth it, especially since all the added control comes sans that dreaded

mascara clumping.

Phenomen’Eyes is available exclusively at Sephora.
